Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread Recipe (#VirtualPumpkinParty)

October 15, 2018 by Faith 3 Comments

This Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread Recipe is a low carb dream come true; it’s moist with great texture and is packed with sweetly spiced pumpkin flavor. You’d never guess it’s gluten free and low carb!

When autumn rolls around I get the itch to bake. Back in Buffalo this made sense because we actually have a fall to enjoy up there; cooler temperatures, crisp air, foliage, and being able to wear a cute scarf and boots are all things I miss, lol. But here in Florida, there is no fall to speak of, and yet I still have the urge to do autumnal baking! I guess it’s in my genes. I’m happy to say this Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread Recipe satisfied all my fall cravings, in terms of pumpkin love and baking compulsions.…

Kick up dinner with this Gluten Free Pad Thai Cauliflower Side Dish; served with chicken, tofu, or even a fried egg, it’s sure to be the star of the meal! Pad Thai has long been a favorite of mine; I’m a sucker for a well-balanced flavor profile, and Thai food delivers well in this area. Additionally, the varying textures is truly satisfying, with crunchy peanuts, fresh crispy bean sprouts, soft rice noodles, and that glorious silky sauce coating everything....

All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias #DeliciousSpeaksForItself #RaosHomemade This Easy Meatball Bomber Recipe is crowd-pleasing open-faced meatball sandwiches that are as perfect for the big game as they are for weeknight dinner. Growing up in my family, dinnertime was family time. Meals took place around the table, never in front of the TV or even with the TV on. My mom thought our conversation with each other about our day was just as important as feeding us a nutritious meal. I’m grateful to her for that, it really helped instill a sense […]...

September 26, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

For all the Chicken Souvlaki lovers, my Low Carb One Pan Greek Baked Chicken Dinner with Tzatziki Sauce is easy to whip up and won’t leave you with a sink full of dishes! It’s as healthy as it is delicious, and makes a great weeknight dinner. One of my all-time favorite meals to get at a Greek diner is Chicken Souvlaki, served as a giant salad along with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, feta cheese, pita bread, and Greek salad dressing. This Greek baked chicken dinner is reminiscent of that with marinated chicken, but it’s a bit heartier, with roasted veggies standing in for […]...

Red Rice Recipe with Grapes and Pistachios

September 17, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Using the pilaf cooking method to make this Red Rice Recipe with Grapes and Pistachios brings out the natural nuttiness in rice; this recipe features a balance of sweet and savory flavors, as well as various contrasting textures. When I lived in the Middle East, I learned the pilaf method of cooking rice. In this method, before cooking rice is soaked in tepid water to remove the excess starch, and is then toasted in ghee (clarified butter). Sometimes onion and/or small thin pasta is also toasted along with the rice (think Rice a Roni-style). The rice is cooked in salted water or seasoned chicken broth, […]...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (Tastes Like Healthy Peanut Butter Pie!)

September 10, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding tastes like healthy peanut butter pie, but is nourishing enough to enjoy for breakfast. I still remember the first time I had peanut butter pie; truthfully, it was by no means healthy peanut butter pie! This wasn’t a pie I grew up with; my mom was an apple and pumpkin pie maker, so I was an adult the first time I had it. I was in college at the time, and it was at a chain diner, I think Perkins, if I’m not mistaken, or maybe it was Denny’s. I remember thinking, Oh wow, that’s what I’ve been missing […]...

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe (Paleo, Low Carb)

September 5, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Low Carb Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe is a great way to celebrate the last grilling days of the season, but it’s equally delicious cooked in the oven year-round. In the seemingly endless variety of ways to cook chicken, it’s fun to take a little global inspiration. With a complex blend of savory spices, a touch of heat, depth from soy sauce, and the freshness of lime, this is a hard dish to pass up. Note that in terms of the heat level, I kept it more on the mild side as written, but feel free to adjust the heat level up or down based […]...
